Rupture is an attempt at building a relationship between a half-remembered childhood
and an anonymous set of numbers. Rupture consists of three elements: a large display of data
collected over the duration of my life; a collection of sixteen photographs; and audio
recollections of my life in Jamaica.
With this combination I explore the nature of memory and discovery. In particular I look for a
way to bridge the space between memory and recollection.
In my reading I travel from my own experience of cultural and political recollection through a
contemplation of the poignancy within a personal snapshot to an examination of the fractured
process in which our brains separate and later reassemble our past.
The original impetus for this work was my memory of a night spent under the stars during a
small earthquake. For a moment I was unsure if the sky was moving or the earth beneath me.
